Abstract

Concept mapping is a visual technique for knowledge organization, representation, and elicitation. This poster presentation describes how concept mapping was implemented in an engineering dynamics course, a required, high-enrollment and high-impact course in many engineering programs, such as mechanical, civil, and aerospace engineering. This poster presentation describes the results of a questionnaire survey administrated at the end of a recent semester to find out student experiences with concept mapping. The results show that overall, concept mapping had a positive impact on student learning.
